Default Some Pics of the '73 Split Bumper
I took some shots today, thought I'd share. I just got the car back together, still a few things to do here and there. Let me know what you think!

Thanks, hope you like them!

Any pics?! I would love to put an LS/T56 in this thing. I love the car, but I miss having that LS1 power under my foot.

At first, I never liked them unless they were split bumpers. Now, I'm finding I love the look of the full bumper and lower parking lamps. Thanks for the compliment man!

Nice car man. I'm glad to see its actually a real split bumper rs instead of a standard front end car with bumperettes. I don't know why but it bugs me when people say their car is a split bumper car when its actually just has bumperettes lol.

Great car, Favorite camaro style hands down. Did you make it a split bumper? I didn't think they had those in 73, but either way good choice.
